It's true to say that some recruitment firms find it hard to find Captains and F/O's with good hrs on type,
but there will, and always will be way too many Pilots out there competing for charter/regional/airline jobs.
At our local company in Australia, with 18 turboprop and piston twins on line, we can still pick and choose who we want.
In the first instance the statement doesn't ring true, I mean on the 145 type? I wouldn't really know, although the the demise of Crossair might explain the first bit, but the rest??
Charter/Regional/Airline All in the same bag?
And the second paragraph is hard to decipher too. Aviationmug, this was written by a recruitment company looking to fill slots in HK right?
Who are they?
